Summary:
Sgt. Bear welcomed me warmly and as a peer, though our backgrounds are at opposite ends of the spectrum. He willingly answered my questions or directed me to someone he felt could better address the subject. I'm proud to call him "friend".

Summary:
I met Sgt. Bear when I began working for the Johnson Co. S.O. in 1995. I have worked with him continuosly until 2008 when I left the state. I always found him to be very professional and level headed. He was always willing to listen to fellow officer even after becoming a supervisor. I feel he is a credit to his agency as well as the Profession of law enforcement. I hold him in high regard as a professional and as a friend.

Hello my Friend.
I hope this note finds you and your loved ones well. The weather in the northeast is turning cooler. The leaves will soon turn into the most beautiful shades of red and yellow. I believe fall to be my favorite season of all.
How I miss my family in Norway , and the coast. Sometimes it feels like my throat closes. And my heart threatens to break. Thank God, I have my daughter, which helps me with the rare but searingly painful moments.
Wow, She just started her Junior year in Highschool and works her first Job. How did this happen?
Time flies, I remember her birth just like it was yesterday.

Long time no talk too! Hope you and your family are enjoying the 4th of July. I haven't been on here for sometime, between remodeling the kitchen, I'm still living out of boxes, and were eating out a lot, to working and family, things have been so crazy. We BBQ and had family over today, it was really nice. Hope things are well with you. Take care!

Dropping by to wish you a good weekend. Had been very busy the last days. The weather isn't the best at the moment. We already got some snow on the top of the mountains. I miss the summer. Take care. Barb
